I always thought of it as Mercedes for the same reasons you wrote. Some consider it "affordable luxury" or "classic luxury", if that makes sense.

We don't have/need to agree. The viewpoints here are interesting and is just for fun.

Rolex to some is a Mercedes, Porsche or even Ferrari. If we all thought alike the world would be a dull place.

I think a more interesting question is if you are driving a watch equivalent or wearing a car equivalent.

Ride in a Rolls and wear a Casio?

Wear a PP grand complication and drive a Honda?

Extremes are more fascinating in my mind.

That'd be something to see. No biggie, people'll just call it "eccentric"

A. Lange is not a Bugatti. I think it would be to hard to match up watch brands and cars. But I do agree on some of your match ups.
